I had recently purchased a second hand 00 eclipse. The oxygen sensors were changed, used the fuel injector cleaner, and had the air filter changed. Yet I still get something like 14 gallons per mile out of the car. Is there anything I can look out for? I found out online that on local road it is approx. 20 miles per gallon and 28 on highway. I know these are %26quot;exaggerated%26quot; sometimes, but I still think 14 miles to a gallon is a very bad economy.
Very bad fuel economy for 2000 mitsubishi eclipse?
i own a repair shop and they do a lot better than that one is,id take it a shop and have it checked out real good,i think it may be in need of a real good basic tune up ,and a good mechanic needs to do it,this way he,ll know what to look for on it,i service a lot of those cars and they do way better than that one does,good luck with it hope this helps.

14 gallons per mile! wow!!
you might have a bad piston ring, it would cause a blowby and reduced power. it too would make is so that you mpg is alot worse. the first thing i would do i check the spark plugs and timing, if neither of those help i would have a good mechanic look at it for a definate answer.
have the plugs replaced , and probably the intake or exhaust is restricted. pug the computer to it.
that's very poor gas miles try changing the oil, spark plugs,fuel filter and gas treatment
